chat chit
We exist to show that we can have normal conversations with people with lived experience of mental health issues, where we show how people have come through their experiences and learnt how to manage their mental health. The purpose is focusing on the positive things that might help you or you might be able to relate with some experiences. We hope to normalise talking about your mental health whether you are having a good day or a bad day or on a day where you might not be sure how you feel.
Chat chit and the website Yormind exist to to try help young people in York and beyond to manage their mental health and direct them towards the support and services that would be best for them. Along the way there is a lot of chatting chit about all topics.
Chat chit is produced and edited by York Mind but the views and opinions expressed in the episode or of those being interviewed and the interviewer.

Due to us being a truly global podcast... this is the first episode of chat chit which has been solely recorded over video call where Harvey has dialed in from Italy. Harv talks about when he first reached out to his brother when things became too much for him. He understands his mental health as a jigsaw where different puzzle pieces create a whole understanding of what it is he goes through and how he manages. From walks being "criminally underrated " to routine playing a big part in Harv managing his mental health, we get an insight into his life and story of mental health. Harvey is an unbelievably intelligent, caring and articulate guy and it was a pleasure having him on to talk about his experiences. He is a good friend of mine so I know it was hard for him to not be too much of a nuisance on the episode as well.
Please if you like or have benefitted from the episode then give us a share, review, follow us or rate us on the platform you are listening on.
